Asked by Howard Stern if she supports President Obama, supermodel Elle MacPherson [says](http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/03/17/elle-macpherson-loves-obama-i-m-socialist-what-do-you-expect):

> Yeah, I’m living in London and I’m socialist. What do you expect?

No doubt it’s easier to be a socialist if you’re [worth $120 million](http://www.brw.com.au/p/sections/features/sell_like_elle_Qjj2iY438dEVomfzD5N6gP). And easier to support Obama if you live in London.
